Hedeby Quiver: Basic Model

One of the possible construction methods includes an inverted seam with decorative elements.

The leather is soaked, shaped on a wooden mold, and heavily waxed to ensure it retains its shape over time. This is a simple yet durable model for storing arrows, inspired by early medieval designs.

This quiver could be worn in multiple ways: on short hanging straps at the belt or slung over the shoulder with a single strap.

The Hedeby quiver is an archaeologically confirmed early medieval design.

While this model may be a slightly simplified version of the original Hedeby quiver, it is built to serve you reliably for many years.
